That's literally what it is. You can do it in all sorts of interesting different ways, but the idea is, where with other techniques you'd use e.g. insulation, gypsum wallboard, oriented strand board sheathing or plywood, instead you just... put more wood on it.
- benj111 7y agoThere's no mention that this doesn't contain insulation etc, and does explicitly mention that glue is used. I'm not sure you could use that building technique for anything over a few stories.
- masklinn 7y agoUBC's Brock Commons opened in 2017 and has 18 stories over 53m. And Mjøsa Tower was just finished (March 2019), also 18 stories but 85m. They all uses concrete though. Brock has concrete stairwell cores. Mjøsa apparently limited concrete to upper floor decks, for weighting (elevator shafts and stairwells are apparently CLT).
- coredog64 7y agoAIUI, concrete is there for fire code reasons. You want the stairwell to burn last to give everyone a chance to get out.
- benj111 7y agoThe youtube video, and comment I was responding to talks about buildings made entirely out of wood, no glue, no insulation, no screws?, just wood. With those sorts of constraints, you're going to be limited by how high you can build.
